Meet the Cook: My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. It's her very favorite breakfast. We - my husband, our two sons (15 and 12) and I - also enjoy it for a light supper. Especially on a cold day, it's great with warm peach cobbler or bread pudding. -Laurie Fisher, Greeley, Colorado

I have been trying to duplicate tomato gravy that my neighbor made for me once years ago. She would not give me the recipe. This is close, but I need to make it sweeter and a little lighter in color, texture is almost there. Was great for a first go around. Thanks for posting it!
